Your opinion about Oregon

Oh, shit I forgot that Sorenson VRS headquarter is in SLC (actiually Taylorsville same town where Deaf Center is at the another side of I-15)
 
Yup, your right. Job is just a major reason for relocation and I have family, its tough decision.

There's even a gay and lesbain center in SLC, too.
 
Yeah, sure there is Univ. of Utah in Provo, I think, but Brigham Young Univ...dunno.

Yup BYU with a huge Y lettering on the mountain, lol. I heard BYU don't allow students with beards, part of mormon's tradition. It's a mormon university anyway.
 
Its everywhere, some are not too bad while others... Detroit for instance.
We got same thing here in Rochester.

Yes, that is what I was trying to say that I dunno if they accept GLBT students to admiss BYU and i guess it's NO unless they stay closeted.
 
I doubt it unless they stay in a closet, lol. There's a guy on Biggest Losers show who was from Utah, he's a mormon and a GAY! He opened it up in the world for that.
 
Good for him. And there is NBA player came out himself on public news few days ago. Not surprised to me anyway.

I'm not too familiar with BYU but I believe if GLBT are celibate and otherwise follow the honor code, they can be openly gay. I remember seeing an It Gets Better video from GLBT students there...though it was definitely one of the bleakest videos I saw. Liberty, which was founded by Jerry Falwell in Virginia, I know has the same basic policy, behave and be celibate, and your enrollment isn't in danger.

Admittedly never been to OR, but being the poorest out of three states is a rather small and unhelpful comparison. Now, if it was closer to NM or WV in terms of $$ then that'd be a genuine concern as those two are usually the poorest of the 50.

Yeah, also want to social with people who can do outdoor activities together rather than just go there and social with them all the time. Socializing and doing outdoor activities is more fun for me than standing there and chatting with deaf people. It's pretty difficult for sure.

Why not join Western Deaf Timberfest?
 
I had been visited at Oregon in many times because my sister lives at Portland. She and her husband own hi rise condo at Portland downtown and vacation condo in Sunriver near Bend. I love Sunriver resort with pine trees, rivers and golf course. Oregon has no sales tax. But I never go deaf communities since western deaf timberfest last 20 years ago. I will plan to go to Oregon this July for my family reunion to stay Sunriver resort!
 
It would be best to visit Portland during DeafNation, you would have occupation to meet deaf and find more information on have deaf group meet up.

I have been visit Portland for many years where my 2 siblings live there. I barely seen deaf group. Then I tried setup temp deaf social event at the cafe. Very few show up, they're very nice and hippy. I don't hear from them lately. That's okay.
 
I would rather to live in Oregon than Iowa. Oregon is beautiful, plenty of hiking/camping spots, Portland is nice city, very down to earth vibe.
 
Lots of natural beauty in Oregon. Oregon coast beaches are great not real warm though. Lotsa rain on the west side from Grants Pass on up. If you go in August you are in the heat wave and don't know it rains until it gets tired and then rains some more about half the time. A lot of different climates around the state. Portland is okay it is a cheaper big city and has lots to do if you like the city. They are a state income tax state and romp you pretty hard with all that. It is an easy place to fall in love with. The recession clobbered them hard there. The Portland Airport is a good one.
 
Nice place. Story of two states really; dry east, wet west. Love the coast.
